Foundation Golf Tournament Thursday, September 26, 12:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.Designed by renowned course architect Dick Nugent in 1992, the 7,310-yard 18-hole golf course seamlessly incorporates the surrounding landscape and beauty into its layout—using ravines as the target for holes and large sand bunkers as deterrents to wayward shots. Although Ko’olau has rightly earned its reputation for being one of the most challenging courses in the nation when playing from the back tees, there are four other sets of tees to choose to match your level of play. Join your fellow golfers and enjoy the spectacular views of the golf course, the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding vista.

Transportation, lunch and drink tickets are included. Join your fellow golfers on this peaceful – yet amazing course.

Tournament winners will be announced during the Final Night Reception.

The cost to play is $225.

Things to Do in OahuSometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu—from bustling city life to laid-back surf towns—so enjoyable. You’ll find plenty of different options for exploring Oahu’s different regions, the island’s many activities, its eclectic restaurants and accommodations.

High temperatures in Honolulu in September are typically in the high 80’s, and lows are in the 70s.
